Deepen your knowledge of global issues and developments that present challenges to governments. You’ll explore what can cause them and potential solutions.
Current world developments – such as security and cybersecurity threats, changes of leadership, the emergence of new powers and the evolving nature of international politics – present fresh challenges to governments, regions and the international system as a whole.
During this course, you’ll study these topics in depth. You’ll look closely at the politics and policymaking of major nations across the planet, as well as the interplay of power between these countries and how order is maintained and managed by institutions.
By the end of your studies, you’ll have gained the analytical skills and theoretical knowledge to be able to unpack and detect the causes and consequences of specific political problems, and the different political processes that have generated them.
You should have a bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent, typically a 2:1 or above.
To apply for this course you should have an undergraduate degree in an appropriate subject such as European Studies, International Relations, Modern Languages, Politics, History, Economics or Sociology.
We may make an offer based on a lower grade if you can provide evidence of your suitability for the degree.
